“I'm going to tell you a story about a man. His name is Bond, James Bond.”

Given recent onscreen events, how could an uncle resist introducing his five year old niece to James Bond? We only managed 15 minutes of Octopussy before the cats provided a sweeter distraction. Even so, the pre-title sequence left her wanting more of Moore, so we'll try again in another year or two.

Full 17 minute video above. Some of my niece’s comments are highlighted below.

“Is he a detective?”

“How is he strong to do that?”

“It hit the house instead of the plane?”

“Do planes have petrol as well?”

“Double O-Seven.”

“My nanny hates clowns. I love them!”
